19. Position the aft head overboard discharge selector

overboard discharge fitting to collect antifreeze
pumped out later in this procedure. This fitting is

26. Close the forward overboard discharge valve.
27. When you remove your boat from storage and
prepare to use it again, flush and pump the waste
tanks to remove the antifreeze.
Wash the exterior of the boat, particularly the underwa-
ter portions. Remove as much aquatic growth as pos-
sible while it is still wet. Once the growth has dried it is
more difficult to remove.
Check the zinc sacrificial anodes for deterioration. If the
zincs shows signs of deterioration have them replaced
before spring launch. Check stainless steel rails and
fittings for signs of rust. Remove rust prior to winter
lay-up. Inspect the underwater portions of the hull.
Review anything that looks out of the ordinary with
your Carver Dealer.
